PEACH COBBLER

A delicious dessert I saw in the USA for the first time. When I tasted it, it was something great. Let’s make it today.

Ingredients:

4 or 5 fresh peaches, depending on their size

4 oz butter

4 oz flour

8 oz sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

A pinch of salt

1 cup of milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or imitation vanilla

½ teaspoon cinnamon

First we will prepare the peaches. Wash them and then peel them. Cut them in little pieces. We also have to melt the butter. Do it the way you usually do it. But be careful. Melt the butter always at very low temperature. Otherwise it could get burned. And that is not good.

Once we have the butter melted, we will put it on an oven tray. Then, in a bowl, mix the flour, the baking powder, the salt and all the sugar except a couple of tablespoons that we will reserve. Then we will add the vanilla and the milk. Mix well and put the contents of the bowl in the tray with the butter. Put the pieces of peach on top of it. Add the cinnamon and the rest of the sugar. But now do not mix, do not stir. Take it to a preheated oven to 400ºF and bake it for about 25 minutes.

Once it is done, let it cool for a while but serve it when it is still a bit warm. You can serve it with some cream. But make sure the cream is not too cold. Enjoy!

MELOCOTÓN CON VINO

We will go to my land again. Peaches and wine. A delicious dessert. Easy and delicious. I probably tasted wine for the first time enjoying some Melocotón con Vino. Let’s get started.

Ingredients:

8 peaches
8 teaspoons sugar
A pinch of cinnamon or a stick.
A good red wine, if it is from Spain good, if it is from Aragón, the better.

Very easy to make. First, wash and peel the peaches. Then cut them in little pieces. Put them in a bowl and add the sugar and the cinnamon (if you use a cinnamon stick, remove it before serving). Add some wine, enough to cover all the pieces of peach. Mix well. Let it cool in the fridge for some hours before serving.
A fresh and delicious dessert. Enjoy!

STRAWBERRIES WITH LEMON

Today dessert. A pretty simple preparation. But really delicious. And healthy. Strawberries with Lemon. Let’s make it.

Ingredients:

Some fresh strawberries
Some lemon juice
Some sugar

First we will wash and clean the strawberries very carefully. Once they are clean, cut them in pieces. Then we will prepare the lemon. We will squeeze it and get its juice.
We only have to mix the pieces of strawberries with some sugar and the lemon juice. Use the sugar that you want. But I would not suggest using too much. Let it cool for some minutes in the fridge.
You can use orange juice instead of lemon juice. Use the one you prefer. The juice gives the strawberries a touch of acidity that is really good.
Serve and enjoy.

TANGERINE AND BANANA DESSERT

We will make a dessert today. Something refreshing and without many calories. Tangerines and bananas. But you can also use oranges if you want. The almonds and the mint will give us a special touch.

Ingredients:

2 tangerines
2 bananas
10 almonds, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon chopped mint leaves

This dessert is very easy to make. First we just have to prepare the fruit. We will peel the bananas and cut them in slices. Then we will peel the tangerines and we will split them into segments. We can cut these segments in pieces, but do not cut them too small. Do this preparation over a bowl where you will put the fruit and you will get the juice from the tangerines.
Now, with all the fruit in the bowl, we will add the almonds, the honey and the mint leaves. We will mix well but carefully so as not to break the fruit. We will taste it, and if we feel like it, we can add some sugar. If that is the case, mix again and serve. And enjoy!

Cook the bananas till they are tender.

APFELSTRUDEL

Apples. Apfelstrudel is a kind of apple pie from Austria. You can find apple pies everywhere. Many countries have their own recipes. I tried this Apfelstrudel and I found it really good. If you like apples and if you like apple pies, believe me, you will love it.

Ingredients:

2 apples
1 puff pastry sheet
Some flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup raisins
2-3 ounces unsalted butter
Some lemon juice
Some breadcrumbs
Some milk
Some confectioner’s sugar

First we will start preparing the apples. We will peel them and then we will cut them in little slices. Then we will put the apple slices in a sieve that will be inside a big bowl. We will add the granulated sugar and mix well. Leave the apples there for an hour. This will make the apples lose some of their juice.
Once the apples have been there for an hour, remove the juice from the bowl and put the apple slices in the same bowl. Now we will add the vanilla extract, the cinnamon and the raisins. Mix well and reserve.
And now we will prepare the puff pastry. I use frozen puff pastry because it is very useful. You have to thaw it first and then extend it with a rolling pin. It is a good idea to use some flour to make this.
Once the puff pastry is ready, we will put the sheet in a greased oven tray. On top of the sheet we will put the apple mixture. Add some breadcrumbs now. We will add the butter and the lemon juice. The butter will be spread over the apples. Then we will close the puff pastry with the apples inside. Brush the pastry with some milk and take it to the preheated oven to 350ºF for 30-35 minutes. Once again, when using your oven, you have to be careful. Check it because every oven is different. Once it is done, let it cool for a while and dust it with some confectioner’s sugar and serve. And enjoy it! You will love it.

Once we have the pineapple blended, we will start layering the cake.The first thing will be to start with a layer of Graham Crackers in the container. Then a layer of the pineapple mixture. And finally we will add another layer of Graham Crackers. We will cover the container and we will cool it in the fridge for a couple of hours. And then it will be ready. Good.
